Who is Edmonton Christian Schools? How are you different from other Public schools?aliciaw2020-01-15T13:56:54-07:00

We offer a distinctively Christian program that integrates faith, learning, and service into the entire curriculum and program; challenges students to actively play their role in God’s story. Our vision for all students is that they accept Christ’s invitation to live for renewal.

The Edmonton Society for Christian Education (the Society) stepped out in faith to open Edmonton Christian Schools (ECS) in 1949, and we have been welcoming new families ever since. Today, the Society partners with the Edmonton Public School Board to run Edmonton Christian Schools as an Alternative Program. ECS follows the Alberta curriculum and meets or exceeds all Alberta Education requirements.

It’s after the April application deadline. Can I still enrol my child with ECS?aliciaw2020-01-31T09:58:46-07:00

Many grades are now full for the current school year. Mid-year admissions are considered on a case by case basis and only if space permits. Please call us if you’d like to enrol after our application period has ended or for more information. 780.476.6281

What does it cost to attend Edmonton Christian Schools? Do you charge tuition?aliciaw2020-06-02T10:03:52-06:00

Edmonton Christian Schools does not charge tuition since we are an Alternative Program under the Edmonton Public School Board.

However, we do charge a Christian Program Fee. This fee provides students with Christian programming and school facilities; ECS owns and operates it’s school buildings independently of EPSB. (This Christian Program Fee is not tuition but is sometimes erroneously referred to as such.)

The Christian Program Fee Schedule for the 2020/2021 school year can be found here.

The Christian Program Fee does not include School Fees (Course fees, Field Trips Fees, School Supplies, Club Fees, Bus Passes, etc). School fees are different than the Christian Program Fee; School Fees are set and collected yearly by each individual school. A Guide to School Fees can be found here.

Who can attend Edmonton Christian Schools?aliciaw2020-01-28T10:39:35-07:00

As Christians, we strive to represent Jesus Christ and to glorify God in all aspects of our lives, including the choices we make in clothing and appearance. Students are expected to dress in apparel that is suitable for school work and school activities and would include the minimum standards of neatness, cleanliness, and modesty. Full dress code details can be found in the school handbook which can be requested from the school office.

Will my Kindergarten aged child be admitted into the same school a his/her older siblings? Is Kindergarten a full day program?aliciaw2020-06-02T10:17:40-06:00

Siblings of students who attended Edmonton Christian West School/Northeast School in the prior year receive priority position in the same school only if they are added during the re-enrolment process (before the April deadline). Siblings who apply after the April deadline cannot be guaranteed a seat. Late applications will be accepted only if space permits.

Kindergarten is a half-time, full-day program at Edmonton Christian Schools.

AGE RESTRICTIONS: 2020-2021 school year – Child must be 5 on or before Dec 31, 2020. (Children must start Grade 1 if they are 6 years old or older on September 1 of the same school year.)

Edmonton Christian Schools (ECS) wishes to enrol all new families who sincerely desire a Christian education for their children. In order to best accommodate all families, we have Enrolment Boundaries and Optimal Enrolment Limits in place.

Enrolment Boundary:

New families* wishing to register their children at Northeast School must reside east of 82 street. This boundary encompasses areas outside of the City of Edmonton such as Sherwood Park, Gibbons, Fort Saskatchewan, Bon Accord and CFB Edmonton/Lancaster Park. This boundary will be enforced due to continuing space concerns at our Northeast School.

If West School experiences space concerns, new families* who reside west of 82 street will receive priority.

There are no enrolment boundaries for Edmonton Christian High School.

Optimal Enrolment Limits: If the number of new student applications exceeds the number of available spaces at West School, Northeast School or the High School, new students will be chosen by a random selection conducted by Edmonton Public Schools.

Only applicants who have submitted all documents and fees prior to the April deadline, and who have attended the ECS information session may participate in a random selection.

After the April enrolment deadline, new students may be enroled on a first come-first served basis but only in grades that have space and that were not part of a random selection process.

*The term “new family” applies to families that did not have a child registered in ECS Grades K-12 in the prior year.

We cannot release the names of our students or class lists publically. If you need a class list please contact your child’s teacher.

If you’d like to get in contact with a teacher or administration at any of our three schools please contact that school office directly. You can also find the names of your child’s teachers by logging into your parent SchoolZone account.
